Below are the only six players to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments:
Only two of these players have "done the Grand Slam" - meaning they have won all four in the same year: Don Budge and Rod Laver. Of these two, only Rod Laver has achieved this remarkable feat twice: in 1962 and 1969. The second of these victories also means he is the only player of the modern 'open' professional era to have achieved it, which is why many people consider him as the best professional male player ever.
Roy Emerson stands head and shoulders above the field, having won 12 Grand Slam singles titles and 16 Grand Slam Men's Doubles titles - for a total of 28 Grand Slam titles altogether.
John McEnroe has 17 Grand Slam Titles: 7 singles, 9 doubles, and 1 mixed doubles. Roger Federer has the most "singles" at 16.
